ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan coach John Beilein, shaking off the effects of anesthesia, looked at his phone for the first time a few days after having double-bypass heart surgery last summer.

As Beilein scrolled through hundreds of texts sent from well-wishers, he noticed Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was among the first to reach out.

"He actually suggested, `I'd like to come down and visit,'" Beilein recalled in an interview with The Associated Press. "I sort of quelled that right away. No, I'm not going to be doing visits for a long time. I appreciate it.
